VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 2, 2021 / Nepra Foods Inc. ("Nepra") (CSE:NPRA)(FSE:2P6.F)(OTC PINK:NPRFF), creator of nutritious plant-based and allergen-free food, is pleased to announce that the Company has reported sales of $4,262,350 for the nine-month period ending September 30th, 2021, a 242% increase over the prior year which had sales of $1,759,370.
Continuing to build upon a strong foundation and corporate strategy, the revenue increase is attributed to new customer acquisition and a higher volume of specialty ingredients sold.
Driving this sales growth is the increased production of Nepra's high protein N-50 hemp flour, which rose 400% over production output earlier this year.
Following proceeds from the successful completion of the company's Initial Public Offering (IPO), as well as the conversion of the Series I and Series II convertible note, working capital increased to $5,283,147 as of September 30, 2021, up significantly from a working capital deficit of $324,656 as of December 31, 2020.
Other Fiscal Period Highlights Include:
- Launched PROPASTATM, a ready-to-eat, allergen-free, plant-based frozen meal that represents the first Consumer Packaged Goods product offering from Nepra. The product line offering utilizes the Company's proprietary plant-based meat analogues and gluten-free noodles with the initial SKU's to include spaghetti and meatballs, ricotta stuffed ravioli and macaroni and cheese.
- Launched Textured Hemp Protein or THPTM, an innovative plant-based protein derived from hemp, which is a key ingredient in the Company's commercial and direct-to-consumer meat alternative offerings.
- Expanded the management team with two key additions: John Maculley and Kate Cash. John Maculley, a former NASA and General Electric executive, joins as the COO. Kate Cash, an industry veteran with over 13 years of sales experience in the natural food products industry, joins as VP of Consumer-Packaged Goods (CPG) Sales.
- Enhanced market visibility, shareholder reach and liquidity with listings on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the OTC Markets.
- Engaged a team of globally-renowned marketing advisors led by Rob Klingensmith, Adam Reeves, Nick Klinkert, Chuck McBride and George Achilleos.
- Increased capacity and capability with an expanded, state-of-the-art production facility and research and development facility spanning over 31,000 square feet. Equipment allowing for large-scale production has been delivered and is currently being installed and commissioned.
- Completed an over-subscribed Initial Public Offering (IPO) raising gross proceeds of $7.5 million with significant institutional and retail interest.
- Nepra's in-house food development and innovation team continues to bring forward novel, industry-leading products for both the consumer and commercial markets with new product launches in Q1/2022.
"We are very pleased to see our third-quarter results reflected in our commitment to expanding Nepra's best-in-class product offerings to the burgeoning plant-based and allergen-free food markets. The quarterly results, alongside our current order book, shows that our growth remains strong compared to last year - a trend we expect to continue through the remainder of the year. As the plant-based market forecast continues to trend upwards, our supply pipeline is strong and positioned for further significant growth by providing the right ingredients in this opportune moment. As a result, our future order book growth is accelerating. This past quarter does not yet include revenue contribution for our soon-to-be-launched consumer products goods division. Further, led by PROPASTA™, we expect to add new product categories and customers across our multiproduct and multi-vertical divisions in the next several fiscal quarters," said Nepra CEO David Wood.
